BSIA expands business awards with three new categories

The British Security Industry Association (BSIA) has launched three new awards, expanding its existing awards programme, opening it up to contributions from across its membership.

The Security Business Awards will be presented at the BSIA’s annual luncheon, in Covent Garden’s Grand Connaught Rooms in July 2017, before an audience of security business leaders as well as representatives from police forces and government.

There are three awards categories.

The International Partnership Award underscores the capability of the UK security industry in embodying the BSIA’s export brand values of ‘world class security through innovation and experience.’

The award will be given to a BSIA member company that has overcome challenges to deliver a project outside the UK either for an overseas customer or partner organisation.

The Environmental Award recognises the commitment of a security company, or its employees, to improve sustainability within the organisation, or to improve their local community’s wider environment.

The Innovative Security Project of the Year Award recognises projects that mark a first for either the industry, a particular market, or a new application of an existing security solution.

The BSIA’s head of marketing and communications, Amanda Caton, says: “Our established awards scheme is already successful in enabling us to recognise and reward the outstanding contributions made by security personnel, but we wanted to ensure that we’re also recognising companies’ wider commitments to promoting the worldwide reputation of the industry, improving corporate social responsibility and applying existing solutions in new and innovative ways.

Nomination forms are available to download from the BSIA’s website.

The BSIA is a longstanding and valued partner of, and exhibitor at, IFSEC International, Europe’s biggest fire and security trade show – taking place 20-22 June 2017, London ExCeL. Get your free badge now.
